Teams started arriving from all over the continent to participate in the Vytal Festival, Autumn wanted to fight in it and so did I but we was automatically disqualified unless we found another 2 members.

We looked for a third member and saw some lonely guy sitting alone "Hey,you got a team?" Autumn asked him

"No,they left to another school" He said

"Yeah,we need a third member for our team. Want to join?" I said

"Sure my names Perseus and my semblance is to analyse anything. My weapon is Purple Rose,a greatsword-grenade launcher"

"Nice,my semblance is to apply pressure on anything I touch. I can always touch the air so I can apply pressure anywhere I wish. My weapons are Venus and Ocean Wake, Venus is a knife-revolver and Ocean Wake is a katana-bullpup" I explained

"My semblance is to heat anything I touch to 100c,I can't heat up the air since it is too thin for me,my weapons are Crimson Splash, a dual pistol-scimitar and Falling Leaves a dual long sword-sniper"

Ok,we need a 4th teammate

Perseus struck me as a gentle man,he plans to stay around his village and kill Grimm. No lofty goals at all.

Autumn's and mine are the same: Stay together and become the best hunter and huntress.

We see Ozpin and ask him to let us pass since we found a teammate "Yeah sure,I'm surprised you found one!"

We starts training together to try and make some formations, Iron Rain is that me and Autumn pull back to range and Perseus goes melee

Firestorm is Autumn and Perseus in range and me in melee.

Lightspeed is me and Autumn in melee and Perseus in range.

I'm also team captain now,let's go.

I start training HEAVILY by taking 2v1s. Not stupid fights like Yang and Pyrrha but like Nora and Ren.

Synergy is sometimes better than just strong people together

"BEGIN" Jaune shouts as team leader of JNPR

I switch to bullpup mode and snipe Ren in the face immediately.

Nora tries to spam grenades around me but I slice them before they can do any damage.

Ren shoots at me while Nora comes in with her hammer so I dash back and start sniping Ren while staying out of the range of Nora.

I connect three more times and bring him down to 20% just in time for an enraged Nora to slam her hammer into me.

I slam into the wall and 30% of my Aura just like that.

She tries to catch me on the rebound but I flip over her spinning slam and slice down at her head,as I flip over Ren continues shooting and sprays down 10% of my Aura.

"So until no Aura is it now?"

I dodge her left swing by ducking and slice her 3 more times and finish her of with a overhand slice.

I love making a vacuum around my blade,it's so fast and prevents rust ever somehow getting to it.

Ren stabs me in the back and hooks into my hoodie to pull me back for a barrage of shots taking me down to 20% Aura

I roll to recover and switch to bullpup mode and bang Ren in the head with two bullets.

I managed to fit a 30 ammo clip in a sniper,I'm never going to lose

"Damn,that was close. Ren if you was a little earlier,Nora could have dealt a good blow"

Wait,he knocked out that's what happens when you run out of Aura.

"Imma go see Autumn now"

I go up to the lunch room since class is off for the week before Vytal. "Autumn,I won against Ren and Nora. It was a really close match" "Wow,your so good at combat. No wonder people call you Indomitable."

Yh people call me Indomitable after everyone was shouting it when I won against Pyrrha

"Guess I am Indomitable then,I come up here for a rest I see you and I'm already rested"

She started blushing like the old days again:

"Well I'm going to go get some lunch out. See you in a bit" I said

"See ya!"

I went to KFC and got a bucket filled with chips and a bucket filled with chicken. I also got four large gravies and took it back to the lunch hall

"Hey Autumn,I got mad KFC!"

"Oh my god,no wonder your so huge!"

We start eating together when Perseus asks for a chicken,I pass him one and tell him to take the leftovers if he wants

Autumn eats around a quarter and leaves saying "I'm full for the entire week!" I eat like a half of it leaving Perseus with a quarter


After a week,I have gotten pretty good on holding 2v1s and so has my team.

I had Autumn fight me and Perseus so she will be extra good at it,and Perseus fought the ultimate duo with me and Autumn.

Obviously Perseus never won but practice makes perfect.

We hear our names called out

"Team APH (Aphid) versus Team CMEN (Caiman)! The contestants are Horus,Autumn and Perseus and Horus is the team leader,the opps are Cinder,Mercury,Emerald and Noire."

Team CMEN POV

Cinder thought these lot would be easy pickings. "Haha look at these wonks with three people,I bet you could solo them easily Cinder!" Emerald praised Cinder while Mercury and Neo both smirked in preparation for victory. "These people are going to be crushed underneath my feet easily!" Cinder exclaimed

Horus POV

"Damn,Red dress girl looks like a bitch. Green hair girl looks like a submissive, Gay boy looks like he bends over to eat and the short girl should have went back to nursery." I made fun of the entire team to throw off my team's nerves at being three people

"That was a personal violation on all fronts!" Perseus laughed and I don't think Autumn is going to stop anytime soon.

"Ok,everyone ready?" We all shouted our affirmation same for Team CMEN

"Selecting the battle arena...Forest!"

A forest appeared seemingly out of nowhere,the other team is out of sight and we must be aswell

"Match starting in 3,2,1 GOOOOO!"

"Perseus,go catch any opps by suprise,we are going in on the right side." Perseus nodded and I turned to Autumn "Autumn,your with me. We are going to push the team."

I unsheathed Ocean Wake and cut down the branches so quickly no sound was made, we headed further along when I heard the branches break. I immediately jump over and slash getting a solid connection on them

The illusion breaks and I see a green haired girl on the floor. Autumn shoots at her until her Aura breaks and we leave only for a boot to meet my face and send me flying back, Gay boy tries to kick me again when Autumn shoot him in the head and switches to a scimitar.

She rushes him down and I switch to bullpup mode and blast away on Gay Boy's body,breaking his Aura after a minute or so

We both reload and Autumn says she will go on ahead and come back when the coast is clear.

The black haired bitch drops a fire ball on me from on top a tree,I slice down the tree then slice her when she falls in range.

She blocks with her dual swords then puts the pressure on me by slamming my guard with her swords.

I apply my semblance and try to crush her down but she seems unaffected.

I apply maximum pressure on my swords and knock a sword out of her hand with the weight of my strike.

I then make a vacuum around my sword and strike her in the midsection 5 times in a right-left,left-right motion then roundhouse kick her away.

She shoots another fireball at me and I try to use my semblance to kill it.

It carries on going and smashes into me,sending me flying into a tree.

She grabs her second sword and makes a bow aiming an arrow at me,she fires and I slice the arrow in half then I jump and leap at her Emperor Palpatine style.

I land on the floor,roll then double kick her chest into the air.

I put maximum weight into the slash and start bouncing her in the air with my slashes until I hear her Aura break.

Autumn POV

I walked around 500 meters from Horus when I see a pink,white and brown haired girl pop up with her umbrella and try to stab me with it.

I take my Crimson Splash (Thank you Horus!) and blast away at her.

She opens her umbrella up and take the shots moving closer then I feel her stab me in the back.

Ok,so she had to move within 2m to pop behind my back.

Either she has that little range or it takes more time to teleport.

She tries doing the same tactic again,I play along until she reaches two meters then I swivel around to bat away her umbrella.

I put the left pistol in her face and fire three times,stunning her then I switched to scimitar and slashed across her chest.

Her image broke then I felt her kick me in the back of the head and I stumbled into the bushes.

She put her umbrella up for a finishing blow but I blocked her downwards stab with my scimitar.

I move it out of the way with a considerable effort and headlock her with a hand holding her face.

I start burning her and say "Maybe you should go back to nursery." Oops! Horus seems to be a bad influence hahaha!

I hear her Aura break and I cancel my semblance before I hurt her,I set her down and smile in my achievement.

I remember about Horus suddenly and I run back to meet him.

He asked me if he saw Perseus around and I replied

"No I didn't even hear him around. Maybe he's in a fight or lost one."

Perseus POV

The green haired girl kept using illusions to try and confuse me,I had my analysis semblance so they was useless except to stall me.

She kept on top of the trees and shooting me.

I decided to use a Tracking Scan,I drain a lot of Aura to analyse so well I can predict her next move.

It drains around 10% Aura per minute before I trained it now it costs 5% Aura per minute.

I see her next move to jump to a tree on my right,I chop it down the second she jumps and now she has zero footing.

I shoot her a far distance away by shooting a sticky grenade into her stomach sending her flying 20m,I time the explosion to the peak of her flight so she get carried another 30m.

I hear gunfire and sounds over in that direction so I start rushing over.

Horus POV

I thought we won when Cinder and Emerald shoots Autumn causing heavy damage to her Aura.

I look up to see Emerlad flying almost too high in the air then she explodes.

"Oh shit I think Perseus is in big trouble,I hear the crowd scream!"

"Autumn hang ba-" She has an arrow in her leg and Black Haired Bitch,the fucking bitch is just sitting there.

I switch to bullpup and snipe her eye,unluckily she has atleast half her Aura left since I looked over at the Aura meter.

She jumps down and dive bombs me with her dual swords,I looked over at the Aura Board and I half less than 20% Aura while she has 40%

Shit,I won't accept a loss.

Perseus,the absolute hero that he is BANGS her in the back equalising our Aura score.

I started hacking away at her leg with my Vacuum Blade technique. "Bitch dares to hurt my Autumn,say goodbye to your leg!" I realise in time that cameras can see and I stop with the slice to end it all just in time.

"HEY MEDICS,MY TEAMMATE HAS AN ARROW IN HER SHIN!"

She gets put on a stretcher by some paramedics and the adrenaline leaves me.

I sit down on the floor,taking deep breaths

"Perseus,we won!" I shouted in relief

"TEAM APH HAVE WON THE QUARTER FINALS! THE NEXT TWO MATCHES ARE PAIRS THEN THE FINAL TWO ARE SOLOS!"

"We have only just gotten started." Perseus grimaced.
